Good morning my dears.

Today, is the twentieth anniversary since Diana, Princess of Wales went home to the LORD. So, as a tribute, I thought I'd share some pictures we took earlier this summer, around what would've been her fifty-sixth birthday in the grounds of Kensington Palace, which she nicknamed "KP".

The Kensington Palace tea rooms and gift shop.

This year, the historic sunken gardens were planted in a simple white flora. Here's a list of all the flowers planted.

Memories from August 31st, 1997

The night before Diana, Princess of Wales died
in a fatal car accident my sister and I had a sleepover in the living room. We
were bundled up in our duvets, and makeshift beds from feather pillows.

Early the next morning, I turned on
the television to watch one of my favorite cartoons, Madeline. Instead,
channel, after channel had news reports that Diana, Princess of Wales was in a
serious car accident.

Less than an hour later, I heard the news that she had died.
She was four months younger than my mum, so to say I was in shock, is an understatement.

So I frantically ran into my mums
bedroom and said: “Princess Diana is dead”. I have never seen my mum wake up so
fast, taking a second to decide on my credibility. She leapt out of bed, put on
her nightgown and walked into the living room where the news station repeated "Diana, Princess of Wales, died, aged 36..."

In the days, weeks, and months afterwards I think everyone was in shock, and because she was so young, I think that's why twenty years on she is still well-remembered.

Dutch, German, Danish, and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for a baker of bread, or brick and tiles, from backen ‘to bake’. It would have been used for the person with responsibility for baking bread in the kitchen of a great household, or for the owner of a communal oven used by the whole village. In the latter case, the right to run this oven and change money or loaves in return for its use was often a hereditary feudal privilege.
